A book, website, portal and multimedia program exploring what cutting-edge technologies in personalized medicine can tell us about individual health and life -- past, present and future: genes, environment, brain and body. A joint project with the Center for Life Science Policy, University of California at Berkeley.

What is this?: Toxins can impact a gene that is part of a
pathway of genes that regulate, say, the respiratory system. Impacting the
one gene can cause changes in genes throughout the system.
